Quick car question
I have an 07 scion tc with 45,000 miles on it..Just recently it started grinding when I down shift into third. Only third gear though. When I am just going through the gears I do not have the grinding, only when I down shift? Could this be the clutch going bad? hopefully not the tranny?

It should still be under warranty
This cant be from me down shifting. Atleast I would hope so. I have been driving sticks for years... and I rarely take it up to high rpms.
For a synchro to fail that early means either a serious manufacturing defect or you were really, really bad at downshifting.

Hey Cerberus - Noticed you have an 01 XJR. We have one as well. How many miles do you have? have you had any problems? Jaguars are definitely my favorite Luxury maker.

CBR6,
It's not a matter of engine RPM, it's a matter of shifting technique. Hope it's covered under warranty and you get it resolved!
Seaford,
134. Runs like a dream. You on jaguarforums.com? No major problems, just basic stuff like a failing MAF that was giving the stupid Restricted Performance problem. Also, annoying whistle from the windshield seal. AEM DryFlow intake cone filter, and rear mufflers removed. Huge improvement in exhaust note.

We have been plagued with the Restriced Performace thing as well - especially during the summer months. Haven't ever taken it in - just carry an OBDII reader with us and reset the codes, but I need to get it fixed, just not sure what it is??
Also we had a hardline go bad on the Steering rack (really odd failure) but I dropped the rack and was able to get the replacement part incredibly cheap from the dealership, so problem solved - Oh, and a wheel bearing.
We're at 7X,xxx miles - 2002.
